                               (<em class="parameter"><code><span class="type">GtkFileChooser</span> *chooser</code></em>);</pre>
<p>This is a convenience function that adds a preview widget to the <em class="parameter"><code>chooser</code></em>
,
which displays thumbnails for the selected filenames using the thumbnail
database. The preview widget is also able to generate thumbnails for all
image formats supported by <span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span>.</p>
<p>Use this function whenever you display a <span class="type">GtkFileChooser</span> to ask the user
to select an image file from the file system.</p>
<p>The preview widget also supports URIs other than file:-URIs to a certain
degree, but this support is rather limited currently, so you may want to
use <code class="function">gtk_file_chooser_set_local_only()</code> to ensure that the user can only
select files from the local file system.</p>
<p>When <em class="parameter"><code>chooser</code></em>
 is configured to select multiple image files - using the
<code class="function">gtk_file_chooser_set_select_multiple()</code> method - the behaviour of the
preview widget is currently undefined, in that it is not defined for
which of the selected files the preview will be displayed.</p>
